The dipshit business point was made more elegantly before and it's valid. I remember seeing some video of TechCrunch 50, where Kevin Rose sat at a panel with other tech celebrities and criticized all the proposals as small ideas or somethin

Damnit, what if I'm a competent designer but a mediocre/crappy developer? I want to do a startup too!

Good ideas take a while to develop. You need to be familiar with the domain to execute them well, care enough to put in the work. What domain are you familiar with? HTML/CSS/JS? Backends? Programming IDEs? Text analysis? Surfing the web? (U

Ah that does sound like a dud business wise. It would be nice to see more extensive stats for each site I use, like digg, forums, HN, etc.. but most sites and users could do without it. The user won't be paying for these stats, so the site

Sounds a bit vague and similar to what I am working on. Is this basically analytics but not just on the content creator's site but any other site where the content appears?

"boilerplate code is not caused by the language, but by the programmer, I know more than few examples of compact/clean/well-named code in C++, Java, AS3, etc." That's right, I said the language attracts a certain type of programmer, who cod

It doesn't know much and what it knows is based on one other person who is connected to many other things. Poor Google.

Are you thinking something like Mozilla's Bespin? I would use Bespin if it was polished, it's open source too. I'm not concerned about the difference between cloud based or desktop based as far as storage. We're backing up everything to git

It's not a purely technical issue. Some languages are more popular than others, popularity means more libraries, frameworks and examples. Languages also attract different audiences, those who code C++, Java and ActionScript 3.0 just love pi

Social network websites are similar. Github has followers and will probably add related projects or individuals that work on similar projects. The difference for me is facebook is a mess, it's too big, the design has gotten very sloppy and

They did JavaScript concurrency wrong! omg! http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing#JavaScript We have workers now. But seriously, it is an amazing resource. I was looking this stuff up on wikipedia but that has almost no detail.

Yea those have some fancy live JS editing capability, where you can edit the JS, it runs the code with the changes but without restarting the whole program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH7sJbyXHuk

lol, ok the site owners don't "owe" web carers, but they're very vulnerable to their actions. People who are building the web and profiting from it are not people to cross. Either the web stagnates as they give up, and you lose, or they blo

They owe it to people who care about the web. Those people will make them pay and it's easy enough to do. Simple JS scripts to extract big chunks of text or aggregators that will take your content without linking back. Not to mention player

Well that "now I'm not going to visit your site" depends on a lot of things. I may not want to visit that site, but most sites I go to are linked from somewhere like fb, reddit, digg, hn, so it's hard to remember which sites I don't want to

Wow, victory was in doubt because the motivation to run a prolonged war over nothing wears out. That's why everyone lost in Afghanistan, it was hard to capture but had little worth capturing. Now that money is at stake, victory from a serio

Yea they really need to change the background behind the code. There are so many new frameworks with unknown user bases and support out there that their website design can be the difference between getting users or not.

Perhaps they'll eventually have iAds for the web and this is step one in their evil genius plan. This also adds another dimension to the browser wars. Microsoft, Google and Apple all have browsers, all have ad platforms. Any of them could m

Interesting framework, it needs a summary though. Something between the dirty simplicity of jQuery and gigantness of Google Closure maybe?

I wonder what the economic implications are when things that are "illegal" have a limited access to technology because of privacy concerns. This is not a user friendly map.

Can't find any talk with Go and 2010 in the title. Poor Google, they don't bother linking anymore because search is supposed to be so good...

Production apps will ultimately be ported to the web if things like NaCl take off. Porting current apps to the web as they are with the goal of having them in browser, have them run inside Chrome OS won't change much of course. But that's a

This is how Google builds their brand. To ensure that the insanity around facebook doesn't ever happen to them, they're handing out these tokens to the few thousand people that understand something about technology. But if sites begin to cu

In our current world, full of colorful distractions, an education system that relies on self-discipline is obsolete. Some students have a "discipline" trait, they'll force themselves through boring drudgery to get the A, then never look at

What about the NativeClient and Unity3D apps in other browsers? Users will have to have NaCl installed as a plugin?

Except things like Spotlight and search in Windows are great too. For apps you don't use often, it's much easier to find them by name, by task, or tag then by scrolling through a long list of icons. Chrome's omni-bar is exactly that.

Does the thing use web workers anywhere? I still get script timeout errors. This thing needs a high end workstation to run, it won't work on netbooks. They need to port it to NativeClient or make drastic changes. It just doesn't perform in

The real question is: Is Mark Zuckenberg smarter than 10,000 angry nerds? He needs to be. The nerds are only screaming about privacy and more privacy. Facebook's main problem is many people use it to post trite, uninteresting crap. They use
